5% of the Population is Gay...Will Gay People ever stop pushing their Agenda?

I get it. Some people are Gay. I really am happy you can be with who you want.

But, quit shoving it down our throats. You are 5% of the population.

How many gay people are there in the United States? The Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law, a sexual orientation law and public policy think
tank, estimates that 9 million (about 3.8%) of Americans identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender (2011). The institute also found that
bisexuals make up 1.8% of the population, while 1.7% are gay or lesbian. Transgender adults make up 0.3% of the population.

I have always loved my Gay Friends. They are not militant. But this whole LGBT?

Live your life. Why live your life constantly being identified by your sexuality?

I am not speaking about all Gay people. Just the small army of militant Gays.

I think any good cause can be taken to extremes and it becomes self-defeating when it does.

For some reason, and perhaps it's just the sheer speed with which change has come on this social issue, some folks think this is one with no such
limits to define extremes for how far it goes. Not everyone, by any stretch. However, I think enough within the LGBT community are over the top
aggressive and hostile about agenda to be what sticks in many people's minds. Right or wrong, it simply is what it is.

It's been refreshing to occasionally see decent folk from that community agree on threads here, regarding the fact some do go way too far with trying
to force everyone to think the same way. It's just a rare thing it seems, to hear that side through all the yelling and demands for this or that.

Appearing to be anti gay, is the new racists. It's become very aggressive in nature to quickly latch onto anything anyone in the media, be it TV,
radio, or print, who says anything that may be taken as not wholly supporting the gay community, as being an outright attack! I find this deplorable,
Wrabbit.

And, for those who think I'm anti gay. My Daughter, when she was born had 2 God Mothers. Both Men. A Dear couple, friends of the Family, and the
best choice for God Parents.

It would be deemed homophobic from the get go.
I'll never understand people whose entire identity is based on their sexuality. Straight people do it too and we call them sex-crazed nymphos and
what not. It takes an uninteresting person to base their idenity on which hole they prefer.

I'm always interested to know what the "gay agenda"is? What's the goal, to turn all your kiddies gay? I don't think it works like that.

Remember it was illegal only a few decades ago?

If people want a straight pride, there's nothing stopping you? Plenty of street raves and bloc parties where straight people can dance and be proud
of themselves and celebrate their struggle against prejudice

But is it a serious rant? Are you seriously this upset about homosexuals?

Live your life. Why live your life constantly being identified by your sexuality?

Because the moment you admit you are gay, you ARE identified by your sexuality. Going through school, the first and foremost source of entertainment
in my presence was jokes about my gay mothers. I don't even have to be gay to immediately be associated with homosexuality, because of my parents. In
those days, the most interesting thing about me wasn't even any of my business, because it happened in their bedroom. There was no, "Hey, how are you
doing?" or "Beautiful day, isn't it?" It was, "Do they ever...you know, do it? Like, when you're around?" or "How do they do it? Because they both
have female anatomy, and I've always wondered...have you ever tried to watch them? Do you think it would be fun?"

I've never been ashamed of my parents for even a second because of their sexuality, but by golly, having homosexual parents gave me front row seats to
the most depraved high school freak show you can imagine. Maybe that kind of saved me from developing the sort of mentality those kids had towards sex
and relationships and just emotional interactions, period. I've never thought of it that way, but it's arguable. Besides, I'm pretty sure at least 50%
of our respective identities are forged from the relationships we have with other people. There's only one of you and hundreds of them. That's a lot
of one-sided opinions, and they all go into your reputation, and hence your identity.

Because people are denied their rights because of their sexuality? Just like women had to fight for their rights in this country. And blacks had to
fight for their rights in this country gays are having to fight for their rights in this country.
